I'm looking for something with a deep seat (i love the isabell, just dont like the leg pos i get in it) but the seat is beautiful. I know the Kieffer Kur, Ulla & Wall street all have deep seats but i rode in an Innsbruck just the other day & it was a bloody crotch buster!!!!! So uncomfortable!! Fit my horse well though, wouldn't have needed much adjusting at all. Please call for an authorized consignment form. We accept Dressage, Jumping, and All-Purpose saddles for consignment. Please call ahead for phone authorization and a consignment form before you ship your saddle to us. You must provide the following information: Brand; Age, Serial number; Seat size. The Rhein is an older model and has been replaced by the Athen Olympic. (as per Kieffer website) What do you want to know about this saddle? If you have a serial number, you could email Kieffer directly and get more info from them also. I have two old Kieffer monoflap jump saddles and they are the best! Paid $300/$500 for them. I bought one for my TB and one for my draft x. The quality on them is wonderful. I sent the serial # and photos to Kieffer Germany and they told me they were circa 1978-ish. Very nicely balanced saddles.

Saddle tree 'Exclusive' with integrated gullet plate
This advancement in the field of saddle trees increases safety as well as riding comfort particularly in the seat region.
Kieffer Rhein Dressage Saddle
Gullet plate and stirrup bar form a unification made of high-quality steel which is inset in the upper area of the saddle tree. This system exclusively
patented by Kieffer, leads the stirrup bar closer to the saddle tree – the result is a narrower pommel and more seating comfort in the front part of the saddle.

With its integrated gullet plate, the saddle tree model 'Exclusive' greatly facilitates adjustment of the saddle tree to the horseback – for example when purchasing a new saddle or as required due to muscular or nutritional changes of the animal. In order to fit the saddle tree, the saddle is simply mounted onto the Kieffer alteration bench and adjusted by cold processing to make it either narrower or wider.
Another advantage of this construction is that an escape of the stirrup bar is in actual fact impossible.

In the case of a saddle tree with a narrow set fitting for a horse with a slim body shape, the gullet plate does not deform in a V-shape but remains in a rounded shape to prevent jamming the withers.
Of particular importance is the fact, that because of the seamless connection of gullet plate and stirrup bar the pressure caused by mounting the horse is distributed evenly over the whole saddle tree – this prevents the saddle tree from deforming. A deforming of the saddle tree, occurs in many saddles over a long time period and may result in a tilting of the rider´s seat which of course would have negative consequences for the rider and the horse.
